Welcome to the website of the State Auditor. As you browse our website,
please let us know if you have any questions that cannot be answered
through our various links. In an effort to improve openness and
communication from this office, I welcome your suggestions or comments.

It is a privilege to serve the great State of Alabama as your State
Auditor. I believe in honest, open government, by the people, and for
the people. I have a staff of dedicated individuals who work hard each
day to improve the efficiency with which we operate while doing so in
the most cost effective manner.

Our goal is to provide accountability to the taxpayers of Alabama by
maintaining accurate records of all personal property valued at $500 and
above, as well as items deemed sensitive in nature. As well, the State
Auditor’s office is the only check and balance between the Comptroller’s
Office and the State Treasury. I take these great responsibilities
seriously, and I intend to uphold the duties of the Office of State
Auditor as outlined in the Code of Alabama.

As part of my pledge to the citizens of Alabama to perform the duties of
this office with honesty, openness and integrity, I maintain an Open
Door Policy in the State Auditor’s Office. If any Alabama taxpayer has
questions or concerns about the process of accounting for state personal
property, contact my office at 334-242-7010 or send an email to
jim.zeigler@auditor.alabama.gov.
It is an honor to serve you. If I may be of assistance, please let me
know.
